We just published the B&H Sony A7V placeholder information yesterday. Now we are getting another set of confirmations related to a teaser image accidentally leaked by Sony Germany.
We have done extensive coverage of the Sony A7V, and the announcement is very near to us. We already have extensive coverage of the Sony A7V camera information in our November post, and we are continuously updating it. Before we begin to explore the latest leaks, one thing is for sure: based on our previous tracking and experience, the Sony A7V pre-orders will sell out very fast, and they will be later on a first-come, first-served basis, just like the Sony A7R 5 stock exhausted just after the launch back in 2022. And the good thing is the B&H store already added a “Notify Me” button on their page, so as soon as the camera gets official, you will be notified through your email, and hence you can pre-order the camera. So, if you’re really interested in buying the camera, you should sign up right now.
Now, let’s talk about the latest leak related to the teaser image of the Sony A7V camera.
Sony α7V Teaser Images: A Sleek Silhouette Hints at Familiar Yet Evolved Design
Not officially, but accidentally, Sony Alpha Germany has dropped the first official teaser on Instagram, showing it sideways. That’s got a lot of attention, the Photography community.
So, this is one of the clearest pics of the Sony A7 V camera. Initially, while looking at the body, the first impression says the magnesium is like construction remains the same, and even though we do have some slight changes over the front section of the body, most of the controls remain the same as the Sony A7 IV camera.
At the very same time, we have to clarify this. These are not full-resolution leaks. All these are cropped damage heavily watermarked, so it is not possible for us to completely evaluate the differences between the two, but for sure it confirms to us the December to his final date of arrival.

Test Photographers Speak: “Sony Is Still the Same Sony” – But What Does That Mean?
Okay, the real juice is coming from an anonymous tester in the Independent Photographer Association, often called the IPA (webio). Obviously, we are not sure about the type of information being shared, but typically, the Independent Photographer Association is known for its authenticity, so we are sharing some of the beta tester experience here.
- According to an anonymous test photographer, “Sony is still the same Sony. There are some disappointing aspects, but it fits the Sony model’s positioning. It will probably sell well. We’ll see when the test videos are released.”
- Another test photographer said, “The A7V should be the ‘standard all-around full-frame camera’ in this price range for the next few years.”
“I’m curious about what the test photographer means when he says, ‘As always, “that Sony,”‘ but perhaps he means that, for better or worse, it’s a quintessentially Sony camera. 2nd photographer also added, ‘It will probably sell well’ and ‘It will become the “standard all-purpose full-frame camera,”‘ so we can expect it to be a well-balanced camera capable of handling a wide range of tasks.”
Final Thoughts: Is the α7V Your Next Upgrade?
Sony A7 V is technically no longer a rumour. Since we’ve already seen the placeholder at B&H Store, and right now the teaser images are being posted by the Sony Germany social media handles, and we already have the specs and price of the camera that we covered in our November post.
So very soon, we will have all the possible latest updates and official images of the Sony α7 V camera in the next few days before the official announcement. So stay tuned at thenewcamera.com for live updates, latest news, and rumors.
